Mission Statement

to benefit from vocational training or the programs we offer should be given each and every opportunity to do
so.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: Our objective is to provide each enrolled student with a high-quality educational
program in an environment conducive to obtaining real-world skills, by adopting a straightforward pragmatic
methodology. We offer you the basic training to pass the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology licensing

Upon completing the course of study the graduate student should be able to function effectively in one of the
many specialty areas such as: Hair Stylist, Hair Colorist, Manicurist, Make-Up Artist or as a Beauty Salon
Operator. Normal progression should move him or her to positions such as Salon/Shop Manager, Salon/Shop
Owner, Massage Therapist, and Sport Massage Clinic Technician. Students will be taught in a state-of-the-art
learning environment. Under these conditions, students acquire hands-on experience and acquire the
knowledge and techniques needed to successfully complete their program of study. Students are encouraged to
utilize the resource library, which can supplement their learning experience. Our school simulates salon
conditions to help our students “learn-by-doing”, with modern equipment and a variety of supplies that help
enhance the student’s product knowledge. Each student uses a locker to keep his/her uniform and private
articles. Our students learn to practice managing the reception desk, logging patrons in, answering the
telephone and operating the cash register and assist in operating our supply system. Our objective is to help the
student become “salon/massage spa-ready” for an entry-level position of employment in a salon.
DAVID’S ACADEMY OF BEAUTY faculty is exhibited daily in the classroom and in the clinic. This core staff is

Student Time Clock Policy
The program of Barbering and Cosmetology will only recognize time clock punched hours of attendance, as a
result of this requirement this school can only give clock hour credit to students who record their attendance by
using the time clock punch in and out at the start and end of their class day and lunch period. You will be given
up to seven (7) minutes to clock (8:37 a.m.) in and receive credit for the quarter (1/4) hour. This seven-minute
period applies to starting of the class day. If you arrive at 8:38 a.m. you will not be allowed to clock in and you
must leave the building. You will be allowed to clock in for the remaining of the day @ 10:00 a.m. A thirtyminute (30)-lunch break shall be taken when a student attends a six (6) hour class day or more. If you are
attending less than a 6 hour class day and desire to take a lunch break (30 minutes), then than half hour must be
deducted from your daily total and you must clock in/out on your time card for the lunch break. Once theory
classes have been started no one will be allowed to enter the theory classroom.
At the completion of the day, your time card is prepared from the current weekly time card. The daily hours and
operations earned area added to the totals in the prior column and final totals transferred to the cumulative
column. These cumulative figures are then entered in the prior column on the weekly time card. The timecard
must be signed by the student and the instructor daily. Instructors may not sign a student in or out.
Time cards reflect the students’ daily record of hours, It is important that all of your hours and are recorded
properly and accurately. The attendance personnel must be able to read your time card so that the attendance
hours are transferred correctly to the attendance roster. The time cards are the property of David’s Academy of
Beauty and must remain on the school campus at all times. Time cards will be retained and stored in their
entirety for 5 years by the school.
Time Card Credit: The following is a guideline for the instructor to issue credits.
1.
Each Theory must be initialed in the proper category. If that category is complete, the instructor
may issue credit in a comparative category.
2.
The portion of the time card reflecting hours are in the Theory hours earned and any classes the
instructor has demonstrated.
3.
The portion of the time card concerning operations is to be applied efforts of the students as
they annually perform practical subject.
Some practical operations may take longer to perform according to the student. Note the following time frame
the Program gives for each operation. Shampoo/set = 1 ½ hours, Scalp Treatment = ½ to 1 hour, Permanent
Wave = 2 to 2 ½ hours, Facial = 1 ½ to 2 hours, Manicure = ½ hour, Hair cut = ½ to 1 hour.
Using the above, the Program would understandably not consider a student capable of performing more than
three permanent waves per day.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY (SAP)
STANDARDS: This institution expects all students to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) as established by this
institution, the student must:
1. Maintain a cumulative academic average of "C" (70%) or better on all tests, work projects (operations) and other required course
work.
2. Maintain a cumulative average attendance level of at least two-thirds (2/3) (67%) of the scheduled hours indicated on their enrollment
contract. For example, a student scheduled to complete 30 hours per week would have to maintain an average weekly attendance of at
least 20 hours per week (2/3 x 30 = 20) regardless of the average level of attendance. Students that are attending the course programs
whom have more than 2 weeks (14 calendar days) of consecutive absences will be dismissed. This standard shall apply to all students
except those on a medical approved Leave-of-Absence (see LOA policy). Students who expect to be absent 14 or more days will be
dismissed and need to contact the FA office. In addition to attendance standards relating to Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP),
students are also required to adhere to certain other general institutional policies relating to attendance and tardiness. Evaluations are
conducted at the end of each evaluation period to determine if the student has met the minimum requirements. The attendance
percentage is determined by dividing the total hours accrued by the total number of hours scheduled. At the end of each evaluation
period, the school will determine if the student has maintained at least 67% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the course
which indicates that, given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate within the maximum time frame allowed. These policies
are outlined elsewhere in this catalog ‘School Rules & Policies pages 11-12’.
3. Complete the course within one and one-half (1-1/2) times the length of the course as defined in the enrollment agreement. For
example, if the student has contracted to complete the course within 40 weeks, he or she must complete within 60 weeks.
4. Students must meet minimum academic (70%) and attendance (67%) requirements at the end of each payment period of the course
to be considered as meeting satisfactory progress until the next evaluation period.
5. All students will be provided a copy of their completed SAP evaluation form at the conclusion of their SAP counseling.
EVALUATION PERIODS: Evaluations will be performed for all students based on the US Department of Education Regulations and
definition of an Academic Year and will be performed at the end of each payment period. USDOE defines an academic year as being 900
clock hours & 26 calendar weeks, a payment period is defined as 450 clock hours & 13 calendar weeks per period. Based on the above
definition the Cosmetology course will contain two (2) 450 clock hours payment periods & 26 weeks = 900 clock hours & 26 weeks and
the remaining 700 hours of the course will be prorated and contain (2) 350 hour payment periods = 700 clock hours & 22 calendar weeks.
Based on the above definition the Barbering course will contain two (2) 450 clock hours payment periods & 26 weeks = 900 clock hours &
26 weeks and the remaining 600 hours of the course will be prorated and contain (2) 300 hour payment periods = 600 clock hours & 18
calendar weeks. Using the above definition(s) the following schedule will be followed for determining when the student will be evaluated:
The evaluations(s) will be performed based on when the student actually reaches the end of each payment period. Based on Full-time
enrollment status. Part-time enrollment status will be calculated based on the above formula.
Cosmetology: PP (1) 450 hours & 13 calendar weeks, PP (2) 900 hours & 26 calendar weeks, PP (3) 1250 hours & 37 calendar weeks and
PP (4) 1600 hours & 48 calendar weeks. Based on Full-time enrollment
Esthetician & Massage Therapy: These courses shall be prorated based on the above definition of an Academic year 600 clock hours and
18 weeks . PP (1) 300 hours & 9 calendar weeks & PP (2) 600 hours & 18 calendar weeks. Based on Full-time enrollment.
Manicuring: The first evaluation will be conducted prior to the midpoint of the course 200 clock hours and the final evaluation will be
conducted at 400 hours. In the event a student reaches his/her scheduled graduation date and has hours remaining to complete, the
student will receive additional evaluations; either at the time the student is scheduled to reach each additional 450 or 300 clock hours, or
at the time of actual completion of the remaining hours, whichever occurs first. Allcourses less than 600 hours will be evaluated at the
midpoint and conclusion of the course hours.
WARNING: Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress are placed on warning and
considered to be making satisfactory progress while during the warning period. The student will be advised in writing on the
actions required to attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation. If at the end of the warning period, the student has still
not met both the attendance and academic requirements, he/she may be placed on probation and, if applicable, students may be
deemed ineligible to receive Title IV funds.
PROBATION: Students who fail to meet minimum requirements for attendance or academic progress after the warning period may be
placed on probation and considered to be making satisfactory progress while during the first probationary period, if the student
appeals the decision, and prevails upon appeal. Additionally, only students who have the ability to meet the Satisfactory Progress
Policy standards by the end of the evaluation period may be placed on probation. The student will be advised in writing on the
actions required to attain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation. If at the end of the probationary period, the student has
still not met both the attendance and academic requirements, he/she will be determined as NOT making satisfactory academic progress
and, if applicable, students will not be deemed eligible to receive Title IV funds.
APPEAL PROCEDURES: Students must initiate the Appeal Process. Students who wish to appeal the decision that they are not making
Satisfactory Academic Progress must submit a written request to the institution's administrator. The letter should be received within (15)
days prior to the start of the probationary period (for the evaluation period in question) and must describe any circumstances related to
the student's academic standing which the student believes deserve special consideration. The basis that a student can file an appeal:
The death of a relative of your immediate family, an injury or illness of the student or a relative of your immediate family, (Immediate
9
family relative defined as Grandparents, Parents, Brother(s), Sister(s), Spouse and Children) or other special circumstances; To file an
appeal you have to have experienced a death in the family (providing a death certificate), an injury or illness (supported by a physician
statement) or other special circumstance that can be documented. The appeal must also state your own explanation describing the
reasons for your failure to make SAP and changes made to those circumstances that would allow you to focus and regain your
satisfactory status. The administrator shall evaluate the appeal within a reasonable time frame (5-10) days and notify the student in
writing of the administrator's decision prior to the beginning of the current probationary period. Should the student's appeal be denied,
he or she may appear before a school committee to present his or her case. The committee shall provide written notice to the student of
its decision (a copy of the decision will also be retained in the students file) within a reasonable time frame (5-10 days). The decision of
the committee shall be final. A student that prevails upon the appeal process, re-entering the program after an interruption of training,
or having re-established satisfactory progress, and determined to be making satisfactory progress will be re-entered in the course and
financial aid funds will be reinstated to the student. Students accepted for re-entering the program that previously were not making
satisfactory progress must attain a satisfactory progress status by the next scheduled evaluation.
RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF SATISFACTORY PROGRESS & TRANSFER HOURS: Students may re-establish satisfactory progress and Title IV aid,
as applicable, by meeting minimum attendance and academic requirements by the end of the probationary period. Transfer hours from
another institution that are accepted towards your current educational program will not impact your current SAP as they are counted as
both attempted and completed hours.
INTERRUPTIONS, COURSE IN-COMPLETES, WITHDRAWALS: Course incompletes, repetitions and non-credit remedial courses have no
effect upon the student’s satisfactory academic progress. If enrollment is temporarily interrupted for a Leave of Absence, the student will
return to school in the same progress status as prior to the leave of absence. Hours elapsed during a leave of absence will extend the
student’s contract period by the same number of days taken in the leave of absence and will not be included in the student's
cumulative attendance percentage calculation. Students who withdraw prior to completion of the course and wish to re-enroll will
return in the same satisfactory academic progress status as at the time of withdrawal.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE: We do not allow a Leave of Absence except for students that may experience a severe medical or legal problem(s)
which may make it difficult for them to attend class. The institution may allow a student under such severe medical or legal
circumstances to take a Leave of Absence (LOA) from the program for up to 180 days in a 12 month period. The LOA must be requested
in writing by the student and must include verifiable medical or legal documentation and must be approved by the school FA Director.
The LOA request form must be filled out and the date of leave and return must be stated on the form prior to the Director approving the
LOA. The needed time off must be is at least 30 days or longer. Students on LOA's will not be assessed any additional charges of tuition.
Students returning from an authorized LOA will retain all credit for clock hours and work projects completed and will be returned to the
academic progress status they held prior to the start of the leave of absence. In addition, students returning from a LOA will have his/her
maximum time frame to complete the course extended by the same number of days as the leave of absence. Students who fail to return
from a LOA will be considered dismissed as of the last class day of attendance prior to the start of the leave and the refund calculation
will be performed and all refunds due will be issued to the student or appropriate agencies and will be paid within 30-45 days, depending
on the financial source. This policy has been revised and becomes effective SEPTEMBER 15, 2012.
ATTENDANCE STATUS: Full time: Any student scheduled to attend 24 hours or more per week are considered to be full-time students.
Part-time enrollment is defined as at least 16 but less than 24 hours per week. Less than 16 hours per week is less than half time. Half
time enrollment requires a minimum of 12 hours per week. See page (4) for more information.
GRADING SYSTEM: Students are evaluated on a regular basis on theory, practical and clinical work. The evaluations are measured on a
standard percentile basis and the percentage equated to a letter grade. Evaluation forms are issued to the students at the end of each
evaluation period. The evaluation form reflects the overall Attendance (measured in actual hours & weeks) and Academic progress of the
student. Students must maintain a "C" (70%) average to maintain satisfactory academic status. The system detailed below is the system
utilized in the school.
ACADEMIC GRADING
100% - 90% = A = Excellent
89%- 80% = B =Above Average
79% - 70% = C =Average
69% - 60% = D=Unsatisfactory
59% - 00 %= F=Fail

less any deduction for registration fee and equipment received. If you withdraw from school after the cancellation period,
the refund policy described above will apply. If the amount that you have paid is more than the amount that you owe for
the time you attended, then a refund will be made within 45 days of the official withdrawal. See Refunds section below. If
the amount that you owe is more than the amount that you have already paid, then you will have to arrange to pay it.

grants or other aid, if you withdraw from school prior to the completion of the equivalent to 60 percent of the workload in

have been receive that will determine the amount of aid the student earned. Unearned funds would be returned to the
program in the order stated below by the school and/or the student. Student liability to loan funds will continue to be paid
in accordance to the original promissory note terms. Funds owed by the student to the Grant programs are limited to 50%
of the gross award per program received. Sample Calculation, completion of 25% of the payment period or enrollment
period earns only 25% of the aid disbursed or that could have been disbursed. If applicable, this would be the first
calculation to determine the amount of aid that the student would be eligible for from the Title IV Financial Aid programs.
A second calculation would take place to determine the amount earned by the institution during the period of enrollment.

programs available at DAB may be found in “The Student Guide” and the “Free Application for Federal Student Aid”
published by the U.S. Department of Education. Additional information may be obtained by calling the Federal Student Aid
Information Center between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), Monday through Friday at 1 (800) 433-3243. (Internet

COMPLIANCE STATEMENT: The Federal Privacy Act of 1974 requires that students be notified that the disclosure of
his/her social security number is mandatory. The social security number is used to verify students’ identities, to process the
awarding of funds, the collection of funds, and the tracing of individuals who have borrowed funds from federal, state or
private programs.
FINANCIAL AID MECHANISM
Financial aid is a mechanism that reduces out-of-pocket costs those students and/or parents must pay to obtain a specific
postsecondary education. Presented differently, financial aid is money made available to help students meet the cost of
college attendance. Financial aid includes grants and loans. Grants do not have to be repaid. Loans usually have low
interest rates and must be repaid in accordance to the individual loan program terms. Most of the loans can be arranged to
require payment after a grace period of several months upon graduation, or upon the student’s termination from the program
or if a student’s attendance falls below half time. Financial aid is awarded to students who have “need”. Need is the
difference between the amount of money that the family will be expected to contribute to meet student costs and the cost of
education at this school.
STUDENT ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To be eligible for financial aid, a student must: be admitted as a regular student; be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an
eligible program on at lest a half time basis; be a citizen or an eligible non-citizen; not owe a refund on a FPELL Grant or
FSEOG at any school; not be in default on a Perkins Loan or Stafford Loan/SLS/PLUS/Direct Loan at any school; have
financial need; be making satisfactory progress (as defined by the school’s policy) in the course of study; be registered for
selective service (if a male born on or after January 1, 1960); have signed a statement of educational purpose; have signed a
statement of updated information; have a high school diploma, (or its equivalent) a GED, agree to use any federal student aid
received solely for educational purposes.

18
students having a higher EFC or Non Pell recipient students with the lowest Expected Family contributions enrolled during
the last three months. For additional information on Federal Financial Aid programs, request “The Student Guide”
published by USDOE
TREATMENT OF TITLE IV FUNDS IF THE STUDENT WITHDRAWS FROM THE COURSE OF STUDY: As of 10/07/00, Federal
Regulations dictate specific formulas to determine the amount of Title IV Aid earned by a student withdrawing from the
course of study. Simply stated, if the student withdraws before the sixty percent (60%) of the payment period in the
course, student would have earned only 50% of the aid received or eligible to receive.
To determine the percentage completed, the scheduled hours of class hours will be divided by the total hours in the
payment period. Please note: Effective 07-01-06 the refund calculation will be based on the scheduled hours a student is
contracted for rather than the actual hours attended on the last day of attendance according to the enrollment agreement.
Unearned aid will be returned to the program(s) in accordance to the guidance described in the regulations. Withdrawing
students will be responsible for institutional charges not covered by student aid.
Delinquent school accounts will be assigned to a collection agency. Collection agency expenses will be added to the
balance owed to the school.
DETERMINING NEED the information you report on the FAFSA form when you apply for aid is used in a formula
established by U.S. Congress that calculated your Expected Family Contribution.
DETERMINING NEED: DAB utilizes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for students applying for aid. This form will be
processed by a contractor of the U.S. Department of Education at no cost to the student. The results will be provided in the form of an
Electronic Student Aid Report with the calculation of the information you report on the FAFSA form when you apply for aid, is used in a
formula established by U.S. Congress that calculated your Expected Family Contribution.

AWARD CONCEPT, SELECTION OF RECIPIENTS AND PACKAGING CRITERIA
This institution does not receive enough Campus-Base funds to satisfy all the student financial needs. Therefore, the school
emphasizes the SELF-HELP CONCEPT of student financial assistance.
The SELF-HELP CONCEPT is on a first-come, first-served basis when awarding eligible applicants. If the student does not
wish to assume the combined debt of two or more loans, they may decline any loans offered by the school. ALL LOANS
MUST BE REPAID.
The SELF-HELP CONCEPT lists types of financial assistance in the following order:
1.
Family contributions
2.
Other resources
3.
Federal PELL Grant
4.
Self Help (Stafford and/or, PLUS Loans)
The school awards from the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants in accordance with the following policy:
The institutional participation in the Federal Educational Opportunity Grant is limited to the amount of funds given to the
institution for an entire award year. (July 1 to June 30).
Due to the limited amount of funds available to the institution, it is literally impossible to award FSEOG to all students
applying for aid. Therefore, the institutional policy to select FSEOG recipients is as follows:
This institution has a continuing enrollment process in which students may start each Tuesday of each week or Wednesday
when Tuesday is an observed Holiday. In order to ensure a fair distribution of funds through the entire award year, the
institution will make SEOG awards using data from the year proceeding the current year, by using student enrollment, EFC
and Pell Grant data to determine how to distribute the SEOG funds available. Based on last year’s data, the institution
expects an enrollment of 40 new students meeting the “exceptional need” criteria to be enrolled during the 7/1/13 to
6/30/14 period. Therefore, the awards to those students will be up to $200.00 (May be increased up to $300.00 under
special circumstances) through the entire period. As of July 1, 2013 the first selection of SEOG recipients will be made from
students with “exceptional need”. Students with “exceptional need students” are defined by this institution as students
that have an expected family contribution (EFC) that will otherwise be eligible for the FPELL Grant Program during the same
19
award year. If enrollment figures change, and/or additional funds become available to the institution, a second selection
will be made from those students ineligible for the FPELL Grant Program with the lowest expected family contribution that
enrolled during the last quarter of the award year (March to June). Both selections will be made from students, whose file
has been completed, with no issues pending regarding the students’ eligibility for Federal Aid. Incomplete files will not be
considered in the selection criteria due to possible lack of documentation. Awards will be made as long as funds are
available throughout the award year. It is our institutional policy to protect our students from incurring unnecessary loan
debts, therefore students are carefully interviewed during the enrollment process to secure that the students will utilize
any available funds available to them to meet their educational expenses (school charges, transportation, personal or child
care) before a need for loans be included in their financial aid package).=
DEFINITIONS: The following definitions correspond to some common terms used within the financial aid terminology:
ACADEMIC YEAR: A period of not less than 26 calendar weeks with a minimum of 900 clock hours of instruction for a full
time student. The midpoint of the academic year shall be a minimum of 13 calendar weeks and at least 450 clock hours. In
effect, all students enrolled in courses with an academic year schedule to be completed in less than 26 calendar weeks,
regardless of the number of clock hours offered, would have aid eligibility reduced in proportion to the number of weeks
and hours in the course of study in relation to the academic year.
CLOCK HOUR: A 50 to 60 minutes of supervised instruction during a 60 minutes period.
CREDIT BALANCE: A credit balance occurs when tuition payments have been received by the institution in excess of the

balance was generated. Students must be responsible for budgeting their own funds and for securing that the funds are
used for education related expenses.

RECOVERIES: Recoveries resulting from unearned Title IV funds due from the student must be paid in accordance to the
terms stated in the promissory note of the student loans. If funds from the grant programs still due from the student, those
funds are payable at the rate of 50%. Grant funds due from the student must be repaid within 45 days from the student’s
withdrawal date Students may make repayment arrangements with the U.S. Department of Education within 45 days from
the student’s withdrawal and present proof of such arrangements to the institution. If no repayment is received nor
arrangements are presented, the institution will refer the debt to the U.S. Department of Education. The student will no
longer be eligible for aid until informed by U.S. Department of Education.
20
REFUNDS: In any case where a refund is due to the Title IV Programs, the payment of the refund will be made within 45
days from the official withdrawal date in the following order: FDirect, FPELL FSEOG, other sources and to the student. This
order will be applied providing the student received funds from that program and in amounts not to exceed the amounts
originally paid from each program.
TRANSFER STUDENT: A student, who attended a Post-secondary institution before the enrollment at DAB, is no longer

• He was terminated or laid off from employment or received a notice of termination or layoff;
• He is eligible for or has exhausted his unemployment compensation, or he is not eligible for it because, even though he
has been employed long enough to demonstrate attachment to the workforce, he had insufficient earnings or performed
services for an employer that weren’t covered under a state’s unemployment compensation law; and • He is unlikely to

5. A self-employed person (including farmers, ranchers, or fishermen) who is unemployed because of natural disasters or
because of general economic conditions in his community.
6. A displaced homemaker, someone who meets all of the following requirements: • she has been providing unpaid services
to family members in the home; • she has been dependent on the income of another family member but is no longer
supported by that income; and • she is unemployed or underemployed and is having difficulty obtaining or upgrading
employment. An “underemployed” person is one who is working part time but wants to work full time or one who is
working below the demonstrated level of her education or job skills. Not everyone who receives unemployment benefits
will meet the definition of dislocated worker. For example, in general those who quit their jobs are not considered
dislocated workers, even if they are receiving unemployment benefits.
Institutional Verification Policy and Procedures
What is verification?
The verification process is a process where the institution will require the student/spouse/parent to provide documentation to support
the data reported on the FAFSA and printed on the SAR/ISIR. It is anticipated that about 30% of the students will be selected for
verification by the United States Department of Education (USDE) via its contractor (CPS) or by the institution’s Financial aid Office.
How do I know that my application has been selected
The verification flag will have a value of “Y,” and next to the EFC will be an asterisk referring to a comment in the student section of the
SAR that tells applicants they will be asked by their school to provide documentation.
For 2013–2014, verification tracking flags will place the student in one of five verification tracking groups, which will be explained later.
The institution must verify any information in which there is a reason to believe it is incorrect on any application. Students with these
applications are considered to be selected for verification by your school even though you may not be verifying the same data as for CPSselected applications. The institution, at its discretion, may require a student to verify any FAFSA information and to provide any
reasonable documentation in accordance with consistently applied school policies.
Regardless whether the application was selected by CPS or by the institution, all other verification requirements, such as deadlines and
allowable tolerances and interim disbursement rules, apply equally to all students who are being verified.
What Items need to be verified? Once the student is placed in a group, each group contains different items that need to be verified.
Verification tracking groups
Students who are selected for verification will be placed in one of the five following groups, V1, V2, V3, V4,V5. The group determines
which FAFSA information must be verified for the student. The data to be verified would correspond to the data reported by the student,
the student spouse and, or, if applicable, the parent whose data was also included in the FAFSA.
Verification tracking groups
The data to be reviewed will correspond to the data required in each of the following groups:
V1
Standard Verification Group. Tracking flag V1
V2
SNAP Verification Group. Tracking flag V2.
V3
Child Support Paid Verification Group. Tracking flag V3.
V4
Custom Verification Group. Tracking flag V4.

Who can be excluded from the verification process? Death of the student. Not an aid recipient.
The applicant is eligible to receive only unsubsidized student financial assistance
Applicant verified by another school. The student provides documentation that he/she completed the verification process for the
current award year at another school before transferring.
The FAFSA data must be the same as it was at the previous school, and you must get a letter from that school stating that it verified the
application and has provided the transaction number of the pertinent valid ISIR.
Post enrollment. The student was selected for verification after ceasing to be enrolled at your school and all (including late)
disbursements were made.
Unless the FAO has a reason to believe it is inaccurate, you don’t have to document the reported FAFSA information of the parents of a
dependent student if any of the following apply:
Both of the parents are mentally incapacitated.
They are residing in a country other than the United States and can’t be contacted by normal means.
They can’t be located because the student does not have and cannot get their contact information.
Unless the FAO has a reason to believe it is inaccurate, you don’t have to document the reported FAFSA information of the spouse of an
independent student if any of the following apply:
The spouse has died.
He/she is mentally incapacitated.
He/she is residing in a country other than the United States and can’t be contacted by normal means.
The spouse can’t be located because the student does not have and cannot get the spouses’ contact information.
What documentation is needed? Documenting Family income and tax paid: The Department encourages students and parents to use of
the FAFSA/IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT). For the retrieved data to be acceptable documentation of tax data, it is necessary that
neither students nor parents change the data after it is transferred from the IRS—if the data was changed or if your FAO has a reason to
believe the data transferred is incorrect, the student will need to provide other documentation as explained below. The IRS request field(s)
on the ISIR will have a value of “02” when the data is unchanged. If students cannot or will not use IRS Data Retrieval, either at initial
FAFSA filing or though the FOTW correction process, they must document AGI, taxes paid, and untaxed income by providing an IRS tax
return transcript for the student and spouse or parents, as applicable.
Under the following conditions the IRS Data Retrieval is not available in FOTW (all apply to both students and parents unless otherwise
noted):
The person did not indicate on the FAFSA that the tax return has been completed.
The marriage date is January 2013 or later.
The first three digits of the SSN are 666.
The tax return was amended.
22
The person filed a Puerto Rican or foreign tax return.
The person is married and filed the tax return either as head of household or married but filing a separate return.
Neither married parent entered a valid SSN.
A non-married parent or both married parents entered all zeroes for the SSN.
Tax filing extension: For students and parents who have been granted a tax filing extension, need to present a copy of IRS Form 4868,
Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. Must also provide a copy of all their W-2 forms
or, if they are self-employed, a signed statement with the amount of their AGI and their U.S. income taxes paid.
You may be requested to use the DRT or submit to your school a tax transcript after the return has been filed. If you do that, you must reverify the income information.
Non-Tax filers: For non-tax filers you must receive a W-2 form for each source of employment income. You must also get a signed
statement providing the sources and amounts of the person’s income earned from work not on W-2s and certifying that the person has not
filed and is not required to file a tax return.
Residents of Pacific Islands: For residents of the Freely Associated States (the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, or
the Federated States of Micronesia), a copy of the wage and tax statement from each employer and a signed statement identifying all of
the person’s income and taxes for the year is acceptable.
Persons from a foreign country not required to file a tax form: Persons from a foreign country who are not required to file a tax return
can provide the signed statement certifying their income and taxes paid.
Missing W-2 forms: If a person who is required to provide a W-2 form can’t do it timely, you may be permitted to submit a signed
statement with the amount of the income earned from work, the source of that income, and the reason the W-2 form is not available in
time.
Persons filling foreign taxes: When a person filed a non-U.S. tax return, obtaining an IRS tax return transcript is not possible. In those
cases you may accept instead of the transcript a copy of the tax return, which must be signed by the filer or one of the filers of a joint
return, and you must document the circumstances.
Use the income and tax information that most closely corresponds to the information on the IRS tax return, and convert monetary
amounts into U.S. dollars as appropriate.
Electronic signatures: On the few occasions that a tax return was used to complete verification, your school can accept an electronic copy
of the return that has been electronically signed provided your school’s process for accepting such signatures complies with the
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act. But a signature on Form 8879, the IRS e-file Signature
Authorization, is not an acceptable substitute for a signature on the tax return.
Tax Preparers: For persons who have a tax professional prepare their return, instead of a copy of the return with the filer’s signature,
your FAO may accept one that has the name and Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) of the preparer or has his SSN or EIN and has
been signed, stamped, typed, or printed with his name and address. Note that the IRS requires paid preparers to have a PTIN.
When a tax return transcript is unavailable: When the tax filer requests an IRS tax return transcript and is unsuccessful, she can use a
signed copy of the 2012 tax return (Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ) for verification. She must also provide your school with one of the
following:
• if she tried to get the transcript using the paper Form 4506-T or 4506T-EZ, a copy of the response (which she must sign) mailed to her
informing her that the IRS could not provide the transcript; or
• if she tried to get the transcript using the Internet, a signed copy of a screen print from the official IRS webpage showing a message that
the transcript request was unsuccessful. Because the IRS does not send written confirmation of the failure of a transcript request using
the telephone, there is no documentation alternative for that method. Affected tax filers must request a tax return transcript using either
the online or paper method and, if unsuccessful, provide your school with the above noted documentation. In addition to the
documentation already specified, the tax filer must also provide your school with a completed and signed IRS Form 4506-T or 4506T-EZ
that includes on line 5 the name, address, and telephone number of your school as the third party to whom the IRS is to mail the tax
return transcript. If the school has no reasonable doubt about the accuracy of the information on the copy of the tax return, your school
should proceed with verification and simply place the 4506 form in the student’s file rather than sending it to the IRS. However, if the
school has a reason to believe that the information on the tax return may not be accurate, your school must, before verification can be
completed, send the Form 4506-T or 4506T-EZ to the IRS and wait for the return of the transcript or confirmation from the IRS that a
transcript is not available for that tax filer. See the 11/2/12 electronic announcement for more information
Requesting a tax transcript: There are a few ways to request a tax transcript: online at www.irs.gov, by calling 1-800-908-9946, or by
mailing or faxing the paper Form 4506T-EZ, which can be printed out from the IRS website on www.ifap.ed.gov for specific instructions.
Filing an amended return: Students or parents who file an amended return cannot use the IRS DRT, and if they amend the return after
using the DRT to fill out the FAFSA, the FAO cannot rely on that data. Instead, you will need to use information from these documents to
complete verification:
1. a signed copy of the IRS Form 1040X that was filed and
2. a signed copy of the original tax return that was filed, a tax return transcript (which does not have to be signed), or any IRS transcript
(such as a return transcript for taxpayer or RTFTP) that includes all the income and tax information required to be verified: AGI, income
tax paid, education credits, etc.
Household size: To document the household size, the student needs to provide a signed statement and, if dependent, at least one parent that
gives the name, age, and relationship to the student of each person in the household. You don’t have to verify household size in the
following situations:
• For a dependent student, the household size reported is three for married parents or two for a single, divorced, separated, or widowed
parent.
• For an independent student, the household size reported is two if he is married or one if he is single, divorced, separated, or widowed.
23
Number in college: You can document this item with a statement signed by the student (and, if e is dependent, at least one parent) that
gives the name and age of each person in the household who is enrolled at least half time in an eligible college (excluding, of course, the
parents of dependent students). The statement must also give the name of each college, and it can be written to document household size as
well. Completion of the Department’s verification suggested text can satisfy both items.
If your school has a reason to doubt the enrollment information reported, your school must obtain from each school a statement that the
named person will attend there on at least a half-time basis. Your school would not have to get such a statement if the person has not
yet registered, is attending less than half time, or will be attending your school.
If your school has a reason to doubt whether a reported school is Title IV-eligible, your school must insure it is, such as by checking to see
if it has a federal school code.
SNAP benefits (food stamps): If the ISIR shows that someone in the parents’ or student’s household received SNAP benefits in 2011 or
2012, the student must provide a signed statement indicating receipt of the benefit. If your school has a reason to doubt the receipt of SNAP
benefits, your school may require the student to show documentation from the agency that supplied the benefit or alternative documentation
you find sufficient.
Child support paid: If the ISIR shows that the student or parent paid child support in 2012, the student must provide a statement signed by
him/her or, if he/she is a dependent, either parent and giving the annual amount of the support, the names of those who paid it and whom it
was paid to, and the name(s) of the children) for whom it was paid. If your school believes the information in the signed statement is
inaccurate, the student must provide documentation such as a copy of the separation agreement or divorce decree that shows the amount of
child support to be provided, a statement from the person receiving the child support showing the amount provided, or copies of the child
support checks or money order receipts.
If the student reports on verification and documents that the spouse, or a parent paid child support but did not report that on his/her
FAFSA, you must resolve the conflict. However, if the student was eligible for an automatic zero EFC, the child support paid question
would not have been presented on FAFSA on the Web; as long as the student is still eligible for an auto zero EFC, there is no need to
correct the child support field on the application.
High school completion
Students must provide one of the following documents that indicate their high school completion status at the beginning of the 2013–
2014 year:
• A copy of a high school diploma.
• A copy of a final, official high school transcript that shows the date when the diploma was awarded.
• A copy of a General Educational Development (GED) certificate or GED transcript.
• An academic transcript that indicates the student successfully completed at least a two-year program that is acceptable for full credit
toward a bachelor’s degree.
• A copy of a secondary school completion credential for homeschool (other than a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent) if
state law requires homeschooled students to obtain that credential.
• A transcript or the equivalent, signed by the parent or guardian of a homeschooled student that lists the secondary school courses the
student completed and documents the successful completion of a secondary school education in a homeschool setting.
Students who are unable to get one of the documents listed above must contact the financial aid office.
Identity and statement of educational purpose
Students should appear in person at the school and present a valid, government-issued photo identification (ID) such as a passport or a
driver’s license or other state-issued ID.
Your school must maintain an annotated copy of that ID that includes the date it was received and the name of the person your school
authorized to receive it. Students must also sign a statement of educational purpose that certifies who they are and that the federal
student aid they may receive will only be used for educational purposes and for the cost of attending the school for the 2013–2014 year.
A student who is unable to appear at the school must sign and submit the statement of educational purpose, and he must submit a copy
of his ID with the statement signed by a notary public confirming that the student appeared before her and presented the ID confirming
his identity
Updating Information: Generally, a student cannot update information that was correct as of the date the application was signed. After
the FAFSA is signed, only certain items can be updated under the conditions given below.
1. All applicants whose dependency status changes must update that status and the associated FAFSA information throughout the award
year except when the update is caused by a change in the student’s marital status.
2. All applicants selected by the Department or a school for verification of household size or number in college must update those
numbers to be correct as of the date of verification unless the update is due to a change in the student’s marital status. At your schools’
discretion your school may update under either 1 or 2 even when the update is due to a change in the student’s marital status if you
deem it necessary to address an inequity or to reflect more accurately the applicant’s ability to pay.
Verification forms, documentation: Be sure that the institutional verification document is signed, that all required sections are completed,
and that the relevant tax or alternative documents are attached. Timing of signatures: Any required signatures, such as signatures on
worksheets or on copies of tax returns, must be collected at the time of verification—they can’t be collected after the verification deadline
for that award year.
24
Interim Disbursements: If the student is selected for verification on the original ISIR, Interim disbursements ARE NOT allowed prior to
the completion of the verification process. If selected on subsequent ISIR, the student will not be eligible for additional aid until the
verification process is completed. NOTE: In the 12-13 Handbook, the Department allows disbursements prior to verification,
however, many times a verification stays incomplete, therefore the funds disbursed would become a liability to the institution. NO
DISBURSEMENTS BE MADE PRIOR TO VERIFICATION.
How to submit corrections and updates: Corrections and updates can be submitted by the student on the SAR or the Web or by the
school using FAA Access to CPS Online or the Electronic Data Exchange (EDE).
Using FAFSA on the Web (FOTW). Any student who has a PIN—regardless of how he originally applied— may correct any of his own data
by using FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.gov. If dependent students need to change parental data, a parent must either sign
electronically with her own PIN or print out and sign a signature page.
Deadlines and failure to submit documentation: Students selected for verification—whether by your school or by the Department—need
to submit the documentation by the 60th day after student’s last day of recorded attendance or by the Department’s deadline which is
expected to be September 26, 2014 whichever is earlier.
EFC changes and changes on Title IV awards: Students making changes to their data as a result of the verification process that resulted
in a change to the EFC or a change to the Title IV awards would be notified by the school via a revised award letter. The method used by
the institution to deliver the first award letter will be used for subsequent notifications.
Failure to submit documentation: From the time the student is selected for verification By the Department or by the school, the student
that fails to complete the verification process will lose his/her eligibility for Title IV funds. If the student received aid prior to being
selected, that aid remains as an eligible disbursement. Once selected on a subsequent ISIR, all future disbursements will depend in the
completion of the verification process. Referring students to the Office of Inspector General (OIG). The institution has an obligation to
refer certain cases where the institution believed that intentional fraud seems to have taken place to the Office of the Inspector General
(OIG). Those cases would be followed up by OIG as appropriate.
TIME PERIOD FOR PROVIDING DOCUMENTATION:
Applicants must provide the required documentation within 120 days from the last day of attendance or September 26, 2014, whichever
is earlier.
INTERIM DISBURSEMENTS: The school may not make any interim disbursements. The student must complete verification
before disbursement of any Title IV funds.
TOLERANCES: If there are non-dollar errors and if the errors in dollar items total less the $25.00, there is no requirement to
recalculate the students EFC.
NOTIFICATION OF RESULTS OF VERIFICATION: The school shall notify the applicant of the results of the verification process
within 30 days of the student’s submission.
REFERRAL PROCEDURE: The school shall forward to the Secretary of Education, referral of fraud cases.
F.E.R.P.A: Notification of Rights under FERPA for Postsecondary Institutions The Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act (FERPA) affords’ eligible students certain rights with respect to their education records. (An "eligible student" under
FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older or who attends a postsecondary institution.) These rights include:
1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days after the day (DAVID’S ACADEMY OF
BEAUTY) (DAB) receives a request for access. A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic
department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect.
The school official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records
may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the school then the official to whom the request was
submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate,
misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the
school to amend a record should write the school official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the
record the student wants changed and specify why it should be changed. If the school decides not to amend the record
as requested, the school will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student's right to· a hearing regarding
the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student
when notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to provide written consent before the university discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from the
student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. The school discloses
education records without a student's prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials
with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the DAB in an administrative,
supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a
person serving on the board of trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or
grievance committee. A school official also may include a volunteer or contractor outside of the DAB who performs an
25
institutional service of function for which the school would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the
direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of PII from education records, such as an attorney,
auditor, or collection agent or a student volunteering to assist another school official in performing his or her tasks. A
school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an educational record in order to fulfill
his or her professional responsibilities for the DAB. Upon request, the school also discloses education records without
consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. FERPA requires a school to make a
reasonable attempt to notify each student of these disclosures unless the school states in its annual notification that it
intends to forward records on request.]
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by DAB to comply
with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:
Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202
[NOTE: In addition, a school may want to include its directory information public notice, as required by §99.37 of the
regulations, with its annual notification of rights under FERPA.]
FERPA permits the disclosure of PII from students' education records, without consent of the student, if the disclosure
meets certain conditions found in §99.31 of the FERPA regulations.
Except for disclosures to school officials,
disclosures related to some judicial orders or lawfully issued subpoenas, disclosures of directory information, and
disclosures to the student, §99.32 of FERPA regulations requires the institution to record the disclosure. Eligible
students have a right to inspect and review the record of disclosures. A postsecondary institution may disclose PII from
the education records without obtaining prior written consent of the student.
•To other school officials, including teachers, within the DAB whom the school has determined to have legitimate
educational interests. This includes contractors, consultants, volunteers, or other parties to whom the school has
outsourced institutional services or functions, provided that the conditions listed in §99.31(a)(l)(i)(B)(J)- (a)(l)(i)(B)(2) are
met. (§99.31(a)(l)) the student's enrollment or transfer, subject to the requirements of §99.34. (§99.31(a)(2)) •To
authorized representatives of the U.S. Comptroller General, the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Secretary of Education,
or State and local educational authorities, such as a State postsecondary authority that is responsible for supervising
the university's State-supported education programs. Disclosures under this provision may be made, subject to the
requirements of §99.35, in connection with an audit or evaluation of Federal- or State-supported education programs,
or for the enforcement of or compliance with Federal legal requirements that relate to those programs. These entities
may make further disclosures of PII to outside entities that are designated by them as their authorized representatives
to conduct any audit, evaluation, or enforcement or compliance activity on their behalf. (§§99.3l(a)(3) and 99.35) •In
connection with financial aid for which the student has applied or which the student has received, if the information is
necessary to determine eligibility for the aid, determine the amount of the aid, determine the conditions of the aid, or
enforce the terms and conditions of the aid. (§99.31(a)(4)) •To organizations conducting studies for, or on behalf of,
the school, in order to: (a) develop, validate, or administer predictive tests; (b) administer student aid programs; or (c)
improve instruction. (§99.31(a)(6)) •To accrediting organizations to carry out their accrediting functions. ((§99.31(a)(7))
•To parents of an eligible student if the student is a dependent for IRS tax purposes. (§99.31(a)(8)) •To comply with a
judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena. (§99.31(a)(9)) •To appropriate officials in connection with a health or safety
emergency, subject to §99.36. (§99.31(a)(10)) •Information the school has designated as "directory information" under
§99.37. (§99.31(a)(ll)) •To a victim of an alleged perpetrator of a crime of violence or a non-forcible sex offense,
subject to the requirements of §99.39. The disclosure may only include the final results of the disciplinary proceeding
with respect to that alleged crime or offense, regardless of the finding. (§99.31(a)(13))
•To the general public, the final results of a disciplinary proceeding, subject to the requirements of §99.39, if the
school determines the student is an alleged perpetrator of a crime of violence or non-forcible sex offense and the
student has committed a violation of the school's rules or policies with respect to the allegation made against him or
her. (§99.3l(a)(l4)) •To parents of a student regarding the student's violation of any Federal, State, or local law, or of any

PERMIT REQUIREMENTS: In order to practice the art of massage in an establishment a permit/business license is required
and must be secured by the local city office (police department) of which you plan on working in. Each city has certain
requirements and the fees vary city to city. The school will provide you with all the surrounding city information on
obtaining a permit to work in the field of massage as well as assist you in the application process.
Licensing Exam: The mission of the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) is to support its Member Boards
in their work to ensure that the practice of massage therapy is provided to the public in a safe and effective manner. In
carrying out this mission, the Federation ensures the provision of a valid, reliable licensing examination to determine entrylevel competence. The examination developed by the FSMTB on behalf of its Member Boards is the Massage & Bodywork
Licensing Examination (MBLEx). To ensure the examination reflects current practice, a Job Task Analysis Survey was
developed with contributions by over 50 content experts under the guidance of 15 testing and psychometric experts. The
Job Task Analysis was further validated by input from 7,646 massage, bodywork and somatic professionals representing
every state in the USA. The MBLEx is administered through Pearson VUE at high-security test centers across the United
States. PLEASE NOTE: CALIFORNIA CERTIFICATION: CALIFORNIA MASSAGE THERAPY COUNCIL (CAMTC) will handle
certification of massage therapists (and massage practitioners – two levels of training, etc.). This will give local
jurisdictions the benefit of our professional evaluation of training, education, experience, etc., and will make the titles of
“CMP” and “CMT” consistent throughout the state.
The CAMTC will also be working with law enforcement to ensure adequate background investigations and arrest
monitoring take place. We will not be issuing "licenses" or “permits” per se in the various cities and counties, but
certification will constitute a permit to work in California. Those who choose not to apply (or who do not qualify) for our
certification are not prohibited from practicing in California, as it is, by law, a voluntary certification. However, most
professional massage therapists will want to have and use the CMT title. A city may choose to use CAMTC certification as a
prerequisite or replacement for permitting. THE MBLEx EXAM IS RECONIZED BY CAMTC AND PASSING THE EXAM YOU
WILL BE ELEIGIABLE FOR STATE CERTIFICATION
